Celebrating Black Entrepreneurs Paving the Way Forward
In honor of Black History Month, The Hatchery is partnering with Foodbevy on a special event to celebrate black entrepreneurs in our community. We’re excited to bring together successful black founders on February 18 to talk about the businesses they’re scaling, their experiences as black entrepreneurs in the food and beverage industry, and their best advice for early and aspiring business owners.  

​
Proceeds from this event will go towards advancing The Hatchery’s mission of helping local food and beverage entrepreneurs start and grow successful businesses. We are building a thriving community of diverse founders at our incubator in Garfield Park by providing accessible education, affordable production space, and access to financing through our partners at Allies for Community Business.
